Comment by MapleSugar on May 12, 2012 at 11:03am Anyone care to give me an idea of where to start, please? I can't very well try several million color combinations at random.
Thanks.

Comment by MapleSugar on May 11, 2012 at 8:08am Yes, Shoshana, but I need some hint what colors to start with. What colors do you use?

Comment by MapleSugar on May 11, 2012 at 6:14am Hi!
I don't really think that my current question has much to do with my diabetes, but this seemed like a good place to ask.
I'm getting older. I have just been examined, and I don't have diabetic retinopathy. I do have some nerve anomaly which hasn't finished its runarounds yet, adn which may or may not be affecting my vision. I occasionally get short-term blurriness from changes in my BG, but I'm not sure that that's relevant either.
I often find it easier to make my own modifications in my computer's copy of other peoples web pages. For example, I sometimes enlarge the fonts and change them to boldface.
Can anyone suggest a basic text-on-background color scheme which usually helps, so I can use it as a starting point? Most of the pages I read are black-on-white, and I feel that some other scheme might be better. Black on yellow? Dark maroon on very light green?
Any ideas, please?
Thanks.

Josh & Lisa - Great posts and Lisa, I agree! It seems like all of a sudden they are making great strides in eye problem treatment for diabetics... I starteed with my eye problems about 10 years ago, and my eye doc is really GREAT! I am still having probs but we have come a long way with the treatnebts (you can read my story at my website:http://supportersofsurvivors.com) (nothing for sale there....I promise!)
opps.last email did not go.
anywy....Keep the faith and rely on this awesome site for advice and support.
Comment by Josh F on April 8, 2012 at 5:19am Thanks Lisa, I will try. I think it was just a blow to my state of mind as I was at the moderate NPDR level for almost 10 years. I might be from the tighter control and hopefully I won't need laser but if I do I have great drs who have been watching me for decades. Fingers crossed. I just need to work on the stress...that has been out of control. ;-/
Josh,
25 years ago I felt the same fear and frustration. Get the lasers and keep working on BG, stress levles, daily and things will look better. They are doing amazing things to help us keep from vision loss.
